Meanwhile, artists expressed their wishes for a get-well-soon via media. “She always felt the love of the people and always wanted to be worthy of it. Worker artist. I hope she comes back. She always needed to embrace the whole world. She is an extraordinary person. She was an encourager to all the other artists and advised them. A magnificent but humble lady,” said Yannis Zouganelis.

Shocked, Eleni Dimou, noted that it is paramount that Marinella is well, as she said it is “selfish to ask her to return to singing.”

The collapse on stage 

The 86-year-old great performer collapsed last night on stage at the Herodeion last night while singing.

According to information from protothema.gr, the great lady of Greek singing regained consciousness in the dressing room of the Herodion, while her doctor was at her side from the first minute, and gave her first aid.

She communicated with her surroundings. However, she remained backstage for about an hour before being picked up by an ambulance at 22:20.

At the hospital, she underwent an MRI scan, which detected a brain hemorrhage, and she reportedly had a very severe headache before the concert.

The Chronicle
.

It all happened during just the third song that she performed, the notorious “Words are Unnecessary” one of her biggest hits. On the lyric “My God you taught us how much to love” the 86-year-old performer collapsed unconscious on stage and her musicians immediately rushed to her aid.

The audience froze at the incident and remained in their seats for some time until the production was notified that the concert was permanently postponed. That’s when the audience began to leave the Herodeion, and the talk was all about what happened to the great lady of Greek song.

An eyewitness from the second row said that from the beginning it seemed that she was not stepping well on stage, while in the third song, she was not looking at the crowd at all but at the monitor. Which seemed odd, since “Words are Unnecessary” is a song he knows inside and out and has performed dozens of times.

At the singer’s side is her daughter

From the very first moment, by her side, is her daughter Georgina (seen in the videos as the lady in the red bag can be seen).
